§ 27-7. Daily nonrefundable fees.

The board of county commissioners shall assess a minimum daily nonrefundable fee of five hundred dollars ($500.00) for the issuance of the permit provided in section 27-5 for a festival planned for up to five thousand (5,000) patrons. Such fee shall be paid at the time the application is filed. An additional nonrefundable daily fee of one hundred dollars ($100.00) for each one thousand (1,000) patrons or fraction thereof shall be assessed and paid when the application is approved, based upon the anticipated attendance accommodated in the plan provided in section 27-5. Any excess of actual attendance over that anticipated with nonrefundable fee paid in advance shall be assessed a daily fee of two hundred dollars ($200.00) for each one thousand (1,000) patrons or fraction thereof. An accurate accounting of the number in attendance shall be kept by the person who stages, promotes or conducts the festival, and any fees payable to the board shall be paid in full upon conclusion of the festival. In no case however shall actual attendance be permitted to exceed the minimum standard conditions, criteria and specifications set forth in section 27-5. The fees assessed by this section are for the purpose of compensating the board of county commissioners for the services required in investigation of the application plan and of providing the necessary public health, welfare and law enforcement services required by such a musical or entertainment festival, for the protection of the public.
